The Medicine Hat Lodge may be the best place to stay in the Hat.  It's not the Hilton, but it's pretty darn nice.  It has clean, comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, a spacious lobby, an inside water park (big in Canada), and nice eating choices.  It's just off the Trans Canada Highway (on the east side of town) and is also close (walking distance) to various restaurants (including an Earls and a Tim Hortons), Sports Bar (especially around Stanley Cup Playoff time) and shopping (including the mall and Canadian Tire) choices.

And if you drive down the road a bit, here's what else is in Medicine Hat:  Alberta's 3rd Largest Stampede/Rodeo, Medalta Pottery, Saamis Teepee (world's largest Teepee), and a neat 65 km. trail system at the 2000 acre River Valley Park System. And Cypress Hills is only an hours drive away!

Just ok. I have been there a number of times and it is suppose to be a classy place, and it has that feel on the surface but if you really look around the place is old and rundown. The water slides are fun, it looks like they have redone them which is nice because the old ones were falling apart. This is not my favorite hotel to stay at in Medicine Hat, if I had my choice it would probably be the Holiday Inn Express.   Also the resturants there are not that good.  I went there for the buffett there and it was more like Buffett Medicine Hat (cheap/nasty) than the Bellagio (good food classy).
